These days, business collaboration happens in real-time — and data loss isn’t an option. That’s why we’re excited to introduce CrashPlan for Google Workspace: a secure, scalable, and user-friendly backup and recovery solution for Gmail and Google Drive that protects your most valuable data without disrupting productivity.
Why Google Workspace Needs CrashPlan
Google Workspace is a collaboration powerhouse, helping teams share ideas, store knowledge, and drive innovation. But while it’s built for productivity, it’s not designed for data resilience. Native protections only retain deleted data for 30 days, and solutions like Google Vault are optimized for legal discovery, not day-to-day recovery or compliance.
CrashPlan gives you the confidence and control to protect and recover data on your terms.
5 Key Benefits of CrashPlan for Google Workspace:
1. Zero-Trust Security at Every Layer
Data protection starts with security. CrashPlan uses TLS 1.2 with strong ciphers in transit and AES 256-bit encryption at rest, with data isolated in our air-gapped Azure cloud. Access is restricted with multi-factor authentication and role-based permissions, ensuring only authorized users can interact with backups.
2. Hassle-Free Backup and Restore
CrashPlan backs up Gmail and Google Drive automatically and continuously, without user or IT intervention. Lost a file or email? Employees can restore it themselves with an intuitive, self-service interface — no IT ticket needed.
3. Legal Hold and eDiscovery Made Simple
One click activates legal hold, freezing backup settings and enabling indefinite retention. CrashPlan’s advanced content search goes beyond file names and email subjects — users can search within documents and preview results directly in the app.
4. Smarter Resource Allocation
With compression and block-level deduplication, CrashPlan reduces storage costs while enabling scalable deployment and management. IT teams can set policies once and apply them organization-wide, streamlining data lifecycle tasks and preserving productivity.
5. Built-in Compliance
From GDPR to HIPAA, SOX, and beyond — CrashPlan supports your compliance posture with customizable retention policies and comprehensive audit reporting.
Tailored for Modern Teams
CrashPlan for Google Workspace is ideal for:
- Highly collaborative teams where data loss in shared files or emails can halt progress that impacts across departments.
- Organizations with lean IT budgets that rely on Google Workspace for its low overhead and minimal infrastructure needs — especially in education, where schools are prime ransomware targets and need simple, effective data protection.
Powerful Features That Set CrashPlan Apart
- Automated backup for departing employees: Seamlessly secure critical data during transitions and reassign assets to an admin or new hire.
- Export to PST: Export individual folders, mailboxes, or search results with no extra software or size limits.
- Advanced content search with privacy controls: Quickly find and restore exactly what you need, while protecting sensitive data.
Protect Productivity. Stay Compliant. Minimize Risk.
With CrashPlan for Google Workspace, your teams can focus on collaboration — not on worrying about lost files.
